Is there something that suggests something beyond the painting itself? So very thought provoking.<br />And your collages, soft lines, do you plan them or do they just happen?<br />And stones... "forming a link between humans, the earth and nature." How beautiful. <br />And your poem.

Your first collage resonates - dates and times, postage stamps - maybe for me, a time a can't keep and hold, how the past year has gone by and with it a loss, that I can only record memories as life has a time limit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
